The advisory vote on executive compensation (“say-on-pay”), required at most US public companies since 2011; the tally is the company’s own, from the 8-K it filed after the meeting. The vote is advisory: it binds nothing, and what a board does with it is part of its record. What management is paid sits beside the business record, on the company page.
